Mountain. We need vigilance, determination and patience. And a prize for peace, the Prime Minister who helped and conflicts says he is humbled to receive the nobel prize. Hello there and welcome to world news today. Turkish warplanes of been striking targets in northeastern syria on the third day ofa northeastern syria on the third day of a large scale offensive. There have been a number of civilian casualties and dozens of fighters from the Syrian Defence forces have been killed. Fears are deepening of a humanitarian crisis. The un says an estimated 100,000 people have fled the towns. In three civilians we re fled the towns. In three civilians were killed when a car bomb went off in the kurdish held town. Calling themselves the islamic state, claimed responsibility. Isis, theyre trying to create a safe zone for the Syrian Refugees and in turkey. Full state honours in the town for two civilians killed yesterday close to the border. Seen here as martyrs for turkeys operation, peace springs. A tiny coffin for a life cut short. Mohammed 0mar was nine months old. The victim of rocket fire from syrian forces. Their first retaliation for turkeys massive assault on them. And here, mohammeds familyjoined together in boundless grief. In the cruellest of ironies, they are Syrian Refugees themselves. She cant hold back her tears. The mufti called on god to give strength to turkeys soldiers and bring a quick victory with few casualties. Then muhammads coffin began its final journey to the border town of akcakale. At the local mosque, friday prayers became a time of mourning for mohammed, whose family fled syria six years ago. His Mother Fatima gave birth to six girls before having a boy. She said she waited 17 years for her only son. Now he is gone and two of her daughters are in intensive care. Her husband battling his grief. His anger directed at banned kurdish separatists in turkey and Kurdish Militia in syria. Translation i call on god to bring them failure, to block their path and not to forgive them. Prayers are being said here now for baby mohammed. When his family came to turkey, they were hoping against hope to find safety. Instead, they were caught up in another round of warfare and mohammed was killed inside his own home. As mohammed was being mourned here, other children were being mourned across the border, including a 12 year old boy killed by a turkish shell yesterday. Mohammed was taken away for burial, a stolen life that leaves a broken family. And nearby at the border, a panoramic view of the conflict that took his life. More turkish shells raining down across the border inside syria forcing civilians to flee. In just three days, almost 100,000 people have been driven from their homes. The turkish president says there are threats coming from left and right trying to make turkey and its military operation, but he insisted will continue until it achieves its objective. To push all of the terrorists south of the 30 clumber limited from turkeys border, which he claims President Trump mentioned. Their monitoring developments closely and here is an assessment. Their monitoring developments closely and here is an assessmentlj have closely and here is an assessment. have no indication that theyre willing to stop and i not surprised because since i came to office in latejuly, because since i came to office in late july, and because since i came to office in latejuly, and i have had multiple engagements with him, this is been the consistent theme about the terrorist threat that they see and how this is affecting their national security. They have been adamant on making this incursion and have been dissatisfied with the progress being made. So i see no lessening with their commitment at this point in time. 0ur correspondent has been following this from washington. 0ur correspondent has been following this from washington. I have been standing next to him in the clip you are playing and it was marked, the joint chief of staff and he said the same thing about the syrian kurds. They have no intention of stopping 01 they have no intention of stopping or giving they have no intention of stopping orgiving up. So they have no intention of stopping or giving up. So this conflict, this incursion and conflict is going to go on until some sort of conclusion. The president here has signed some potential sanctions against turkey. It is not clear what will trigger them. They have not been triggered yet. We do not know the limits of which turkey will have to pass in order to trigger the sanctions. So i think in many ways, despite the words saying stop doing what youre doing we do not approve, etc etc. Moving those troops out of that area will undoubtedly signal to turkey or at least interpreted as such to carry on and to begin this operation and that is exactly what he did. Breaking news, President Trump says the United States and china have reached a substantial deal on trade. This follows talks of the white house between the president and the chinese vice premier. President trump says the agreement is what they are calling a substantial phase wintry deal covering intellectual property, Financial Services and the big agricultural purchases. This he will take up to five weeks to get the deal written saying that the two sides are very close to ending their trade war. The us stock market has risen on the news enclosed in the past few minutes with the industrial average up more past few minutes with the industrial average up more than 1 . We will bring you more on that as we get it. Now, the United States has announced that it now, the United States has announced thatitis now, the United States has announced that it is sending thousands of extra troops to support saudi arabia in response to last months attack on the oil industry. The pentagon said the Fighter Aircraft as well as their Defence Systems were among the extra forces being deployed. The missile and sharon strikes on the oilfacilities missile and sharon strikes on the Oil Facilities temporarily took about half of the countrys production off line. Iran has denied allegations and saying that it was not behind the attack. After days, if not weeks of pessimism, it seems hopes may be raising in both westminster and brussels that a brexit deal satisfying both sides could be struck. Freddy poss was Big Development was the chief negotiator Michel Barnier being given the go ahead to start extensive talks. The eu view was a britains proposals were not acceptable but it seems that the last meeting changed that. Donald tusk said that the hopes of the deal were a little bit bigger. Still a work in progress, but hes trying, and now Boris Johnson may just may be getting somewhere, in sketching out a brexit deal. After his show of optimism, alongside irelands leader yesterday, today, on a school visit, it was time to look on the bright side. Both of us can see a pathway to a deal, but that doesnt mean its a done deal. Theres a way to go. Its important, now, that our negotiators, on both sides, get into proper talks. 0ne to one, the two leaders had traded ideas, changed the mood, cleared the way, for intensive negotiations on terms to be laid on the table, behind closed doors. I think at this stage, probably the less said, the better. Focus today very much switches to brussels, where the secretary barclay is going to meet with Michel Barnier, and i anticipate that that will lead to some more detailed proposals being laid down. Next stop, brussels. Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay met the eus chief negotiator today. The mood visibly positive. Though the path to agreement looked steep. Brexit is like climbing a mountain. We need vigilance, determination and patience. Are we near the top . But what about the obstacles . He wouldnt say. Are you going to negotiate over the weekend . Would parties, including Boris Johnsons dup allies, have a veto over northern irelands future status . No answers today. Northern ireland will be part of future uk trade deals, but the uk might drop plans for customs checks, on the island of ireland, when there is an eu border there. These are the details that could make or break a deal in tough negotiations, but in cyprus, the Eu Council President was clear giving up is not an option. Of course, there is no guarantee of success, and the time is practically up. But even the slightest chance must be used. Here, at westminster, the diaries and calendars for next week are covered in red ink. There is the big eu leaders summit, then on saturday, a special session of the house of commons. Expect a vote on a deal, if there is one, and a push by mps, who want to see brexit decided by another referendum. Meanwhile, if there is no agreement, even if there is a deal, the Prime Minister may struggle to avoid another brexit extension. The last thing he wants a delay he mayjust have to accept. This years Nobel Peace Prize is been awarded to the Prime Minister of ethiopia. For his work in making peace. For two decades, of ethiopia. For his work in making peace. Fortwo decades, he of ethiopia. For his work in making peace. For two decades, he took power last year, he said he is humble and thrilled which will give People Energy to work towards peace. The committee release, but his effo rts the committee release, but his efforts there is recognition and encouragement. A reward for his effo rts encouragement. A reward for his efforts to bring about peace, the neighbouring countries that have been sworn enemies for us. This was when he received the news. Iamso i am so happy and i am so pleased. Abiy ahmed has been for his social reforms that include high profile posts and mediating a peace deal in sudan. Some of our prominent figures in ordinary people alike have been sharing their views and some of his opponents seem to be uniting and congratulating him for being the first ethiopian to win a Nobel Peace Prize. This provides ethiopia with a significant muscle in terms of International Diplomacy and a significant responsibility to pursue peace. Now in the eyes of the international community. The recognition of his contribution to restore peace and in that respect, i think he deserves it and i would like to congratulate him. But when it comes to domestic politics, i think abiy ahmed has a lot to do. For the hopes for peace building on the continent. But the first test will be to change the lives of ethiopians. State with us on bbc one rote news, still to come. Will bring you with oui still to come. Will bring you with our team still to come. Will bring you with ourteam in still to come. Will bring you with our team in washington came up with them we gave them a whiteboard, some pen and paper and explain where things stand in the donald trump inquiry. This is bbc world news today. Thousands flee from fighting in syria as turkey continues its attack against the kurds. The European Union has agreed to intensify brexit talks with less than three weeks to go before the uk is due to meet the union. A key witness in the impeachment inquiry has testified in the house today. Fired as Us Ambassador to the ukraine and may a p pa re ntly ambassador to the ukraine and may apparently after key figures in the white house stood against them. Theyre working in the ukraine to press the authorities there to investigate corruption allegations againstjoe biden. A reporter joining me now from washington. Hello anthony. Catch us up, what is the latest from today . We have reports of what the Opening Statement in front of this closed Congressional Investigation Committee contained in it was pretty damning for the administration. In this administration, private and personal gain with tromp poss plus diplomatic judgement, personal gain with tromp poss plus diplomaticjudgement, she was ousted at the same time the Rudy Giuliani was investigating joe biden and his sons ties to the ukraine outside of the normal governmental processes and says that she was ousted by unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives. Number a0 two Rudy Giuliani directly but implying it. In speaking to ukrainian president , donald trump described her, as bad news. So she ties and a bunch of different threads in this investigation into the ukrainian material by Rudy Giuliani and it will be interesting to see the Democrats Ask her about and how she answers these questions. And what is the reaction to testimony so far . I think one of the things of the democrats are really happy about is that she testified despite the fact that the administration told her and all of the state department to not come before the committee. They issued a formal subpoena and she felt compelled to make the appearance and that bodes well for other witnesses who are under congressional subpoena to come forward next week, including the Us Ambassador to the European Union earlier this week declined to testify when he was scheduled to because the state department told him not to. Democrats will be encouraged to talk to these experts on ukraine, officials within the Trump Administration who looks like for a while, they would never get access to. We will be looking to see what sort of questions the democrats will ask as this inquiry continues but what can we expect for the next things to happen in the coming days. There is a fee on security council, russia expert is going to be called in and also we will get bill taylor who was the acting Us Ambassador to the ukraine who was involved in those Text Messages between the two in the Ukrainian Special envoy, theyre talking about the pressure theyre talking about the pressure theyre under to get the ukraine to open up this investigation it is your bidens son and dangling the zielinski visit to the United States and a reward. A lot of key figures that could be shown to before congress behind closed doors but will probably hear what they have to say, so at least the deposition of the impeachment inquiry is really going to start to pick up in the next week or two.
